Cracks and Chips That Can Be Repaired

Not all chips or cracks can be repaired. It really depends upon the size, type, depth, and location of the damage. The repairable size differs between a crack and a chip.

Size- A chip that is smaller than a half dollar coin can usually be repaired while a single crack that is no longer than 1 foot can usually be replaced. The rule of thumb used to be that a windshield with a crack longer than a dollar bill should be replaced, but improvements in windshield repair methods have extended the length of a crack that can be repaired.

Location- There are two key locations to consider when determining if a crack or chip is repairable. The first of these locations is the driver’s line of sight. If the crack or chip is not directly within the driver’s line of sight, then it can probably be repaired. The other location is along the edges of the windshield. A crack or chip along the edges of the windshield can weaken the seal between the windshield and the frame. If a crack or chip is not on the edges of the windshield, it can probably be repaired, as well.

Another important aspect of windshield damage to consider, when determining whether to repair or replace a windshield, is whether or not the crack or chip is contaminated. Contamination can occur when the crack or chip gets moisture or debris in it. The presence of contamination can hinder the repair process.

What if The Damage Can’t be Repaired?

If the crack or chip is too big or in a bad location, the windshield should be replaced instead of being repaired. This is true for contaminated cracks or chips, as well. Finally, whether or not the chip or crack is solitary should be considered. If the windshield has multiple cracks and chips, the windshield should be replaced.

The Integrity of the Windshield

Whether or not the windshield should be repaired or replaced is important. This decision can affect the integrity of the windshield. Improperly repaired or replaced windshields affect the overall safety of the vehicle and the safety of the passengers within the vehicle.

Who Should Determine Whether or Not a Windshield Should Be Repaired or Replaced?

Because windshields are important facet of the safety of a vehicle, only a qualified professional should make the decision whether or not the windshield should be repaired or replaced. How do you know if an individual is qualified in auto glass repair?
